Dear :.Ir. Kelly:
Before !/Ir. Collaer left for Fort Lincoln he asked me to look into the details of securing food supplies fran the CCC, and send you a memorandum on it.
The attached sheet marked "A11 lists the items which are carried in stock in the CCC warehouses on the grounds. Delivery of these items to us will be made on requisitions, submitted two or three days in advance. The material will be invoiced to us and at the end of the month reimbursement will be made by transfer of funds from our appropriation (Standard Form 1080).
The attached sheet marked MBM lists the items carried on monthly contracts negotiated by the CCC. Vve will be furnished copies of these contracts and will place our orders directly with the respective contractors and make payment directly to the contractors�unless it is decided to let the CCC control the ration allowance, in which event all orders would have to be placed by the CCC and arrangement made for them to use our funds in making payment. Contractors require the receipt of orders 96 hours before the shipping date, and the longest shipment does not require more than two days. It would seem that our orders on contractors should be placed approximately one week in advance of the required delivery date. Eggs are delivered only twice weekly, on Tuesday and Thursday.
The procurement of items which are not carried in stock or on contract, such as fresh vegetables, olive oil, fish, and ice cream, will be our responsibility, and we will be required to make our own arrangements for purchase of these items�presumably on monthly contracts.
I am given to understand that the present stocks on hand in. the warehouses and the quantities covered by the May contracts will be sufficient to care for the first shipment of 500 seamen. However,

Materials in this collection are made available for personal, non-commercial, and educational use. For permissions or questions about use of this material please contact the Historical Museum at Fort Missoula at 406-728-3476.
